For the ride and powerful voodoo

Pair consulting

As a twist on pair programming, today we tried some pair consulting. We were writing a document that involved the combination of process (my colleagues area of knowledge) with data that supported the process (my area).

This actually worked really well, with us swapping the keyboard when we got stuck trying to explain a concept. The other person would then look on to make sure what the writer was writing made sense.

We really surprised the project manager in how quickly we managed to knock the document out and it was approved first time.
